Hx: 40s male, high endurance sports.. TRIs, mountain bike, cross fit, golf and swim. Excellent health
1/10/10 TT=410, %free =1.55, Free=64, Doc recommend topical testerone
Used it as directed for 3 months and did nothing for me...the labs proved that. My levels dropped?
3/1/10 TT=290, %free=1.65, Free Test-41, took result to my doc and he recommended cypionate 75mg weekly
7/1/10 TT=1020, %free=3.15, Free Test-341...not taking anything else like antiestrogen. Feel great, added about 7 lbs of muscle (I'm 5.10, 170 now)
Concerned cause I don't want my doc to stop the test...what should I do? Should i be around 700-800?

Real surprised that you hit above 1000 with only 75mg. I would ask for another test, but this time wait it out the full 7 days and see how your serum looks then.

Yeah, so was I! So what is the most accurate timeframe to test levels...?
Also, what's the best timeframe (# of hours after last hgh inject) from your last dose to check IGF-1 levels? It seems there's a big variation in levels w/o change in dosing.

Have your blood test done on day 7 after the last injection, wait 10 days is even better. Cyp seems to peak out with me on about day 5 and starts going down after that. Have your blood drawn in the afternoon late as possible 3:00 pm. Test levels can be as much as 50% lower in the afternoon as they are in the morning.
